London-based Thriev will use BYD’s e6 cars to chauffeur corporate and private users around the capital as the company rolls out an electric car programme complete with its own rapid chargers, cars and charger scheduling systems.

BYD’s e6 is a five-seat crossover electric vehicle, which can deliver around 186 miles per charge with a top speed of 87mph. They use BYD’s lithium iron Fe batteries, which have been tested over millions of miles of taxi and bus passenger-carrying service in China.

Thriev will be equipped with BYD’s specialist charging equipment, which can deliver a full fast charge in just two hours, at its Edgware Road HQ in West London.
